Lana Del Rey’s Stalker Sentenced To Jail

A man charged with stalking Lana Del Rey has been sentenced to serve one year in prison.

Michael Shawn Hunt, took a plea deal that meant aggravated stalking and weapons charges were dropped. He did not contest the charges.

During the hearing, Hunt’s Facebook posts were read aloud, including one which read: “Our queen forever in both worlds I love you so much Lana I can’t wait to be back in your arms in a few days, baby I hear you singing, I miss you, baby, I miss you so much, Lana.”

Another post stated: “Lana and I will be together, I will likely be going on the rest of her tour with her.”

Hunt was intercepted a block away from the singer’s Amway Center show in Orlando in February after the police received a tip about a potential kidnapping.

He was caught carrying a knife, according to a tweet from the City of Orlando Police Department in February.

This isn’t the first time the singer has had to bring criminal charges against a stalker. In 2016, a man was sentenced to nearly three months in prison after breaking into Lana Del Rey‘s home.

That same year, she obtained a restraining order against two Russian fans who reportedly threatened her and screamed at her in public.
